F /ZZZVm O ATTOENEK' Patented 'June 26, 1945 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICELIPSTICK HOLDER Anthony G. Rosa, Lyndhnrst, N. J. Application April 6,1944, Serial No. 529,706

3 Claims.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in lipstickholders, and it has for its purpose to provide a device, whereby alipstick may be securely screened, and, when the use of the same isdesired, may automatically be made to adequately serve, by having saidlipstick give 011 a sufiicient, finely squeezed, creamy amount from thetop of the latter, by shaving said top of the lipstick through a specialconstruction of the upper portion of the holder of the lipstick, as willbe hereinafter fully described.

The construction of my device is further to the efiect that when saidlipstick is not in use, a lid may be closed upon the latter, and therebyautomatically discontinue the urgency, due to a spring arrangement, ofthe lipstick to move upward to a serving position, which urgency isagain obtained automatically upon opening the lid of the holder or thelipstick previously to bringing the latter into use.

with the above and other objects in view, this invention consists of thenovel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts,hereinafter fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, iormmg part or this application, and in which similarcharacters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all views, andin which:

Figure 1 m a vertical transverse sectional view of mydevice, having alipstick arranged therein.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the lipstick holder.

Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2, and showing a modification inconstruction of the top portion of said lipstick holder; while Figure 4is also a transverse section of a lipstick holder, showing the means forarresting the upward motion of the lipstick proper, in operation, andshowing a detachable cover.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral ll indicates alipstick or the more conventional kind; said lipstick is inserted in aholder ll through the open bottom of the latter and is held in place bya member, or carriage, 12 adapted to slide within said holder. A capmember I3 is detachably mounted upon the lower part of theholder H andmay be secured to the latter in any suitable manner, for instance bysnap-fasteners. Inside said cap member I: is arranged a spring M, whichacts upon the bottom 22 or the carriage l2 and through the latter urgesthe lipstick l steadily upward within the holder l I into serviceableposition.

The holder II has an angular, or round, roofshaped top, as shown,respectively, at 15 and I8 intheFlauresaanda Thesaidroorisinboth casesformed with a plurality of slots, or slits, ll

therein to the effect that due to the pressure of the spring I, the top18 of the lipstick proper will, upon coming into contact with saidslits, give off afshave or creamy "flufiy mass, excellently adapted forthe use by a lady in obtaining the result desired from applying alipstick.

The lipstick holder is formed with an opening l9 oppositely disposed ineach side thereof. A bar, or thin strip, or preferably resilientmaterial, 20 is arranged oppositely upon each side inside the saidholder and in alignment with the openings I9; said bars terminate attheir upper ends in small projections, or studs, 2| protruding throughthe openings IS in the lipstick holder, as may be seen in Figure 1.

when the lipstick is not in use, a closure cap 23 is fastened upon thetop of the holder to the eilect that said cap will exert an inwardpressure upon the projections 2|, cause a squeeze of the bars 20 uponthe lipstick proper, with the result of arresting the upward movement ofthe latter, as shown especially in Figure 4, thereby preventing anyfurther automatic discharge of the lipstick material, when not in use. a

It is obvious that changes may be made in the form, construction andarrangement or the several parts. as shown, within the scope of theappended claims, without departing from the spirit of the invention, andI do not, therefore, wish to limit myself to the exact construction andarrangement shown and dwcribed herein.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent 01 theUnited States, is:

1. In a device of the class described, a cylindrical tube adapted toreceive a lipstick therein, said tube having an open bottom, and beingformed with slits in its top, a carriage slidable within said tube andsupporting the lipstick proper, and a spring actuating said carriage,whereby to urge being formed with openings oppositely disposed in thewall thereof, bars oppositely arranged inside said tube and adapted toarrest the upward motion of the lipstick, said bars terminating in studsprojecting through said openings, a cap for gages 1to dgngage tgxhleitgpof the tube and actuate u su s t a 1 set forth y as and for the purpose2. In a device, as claimed in claim 1, and wheresaid tube has an ngularshape.

3. In a device, as claimed in claim 1, and wherein the roof of said tubehas a round shape.
